Can this be true? I'm getting great fuel economy results driving my old 911 porsche but this idea goes against my driving techniques totally. Maximum torque for my engine is at 4000rpm Maybe I'm missing the point. But I guess my question is...What rpm range should I be using when I need to accelerate? __________________ '76 Porsche 911 w/'79 3.0L 6cyl.
